What Is Klinefelter Syndrome?
9. Diagnosis
Depending on the severity of the patient’s symptoms, the symptoms alone may be enough to inform your doctor about what is causing them. The doctor may also wish to perform a brief physical exam, possibly including an examination of the patient’s genitals. Further tests can be requested to help confirm the diagnosis.
Tests can include urine and blood samples that will help experts to look for abnormal levels of hormones like testosterone. Blood samples can also be used to perform a chromosome analysis. This test, which is called a karyotype analysis, can count the chromosome in cells, enabling experts to confirm the diagnosis.
